Our First Hockey Game - The IceMen

On Friday December 30, we surprised the boys with an IceMen Hockey game at the new Ford Center in downtown Evansville! They were so excited to finally get to go to a hockey game! The Ford Center was so nice and our seats were near the goal. As soon as the game started, a fight broke out and the kids thought that was awesome (me, not so much). Their favorite part was when the hockey players would run into the glass/side of the rink- they came out of their seats when that happened! It was a long game, 3 hours but we enjoyed every minute of it! We cannot wait to go to another game!

Christmas Day with Family

On Christmas Day late morning, my grandparents, sister and her family and my aunt and cousin came over for brunch and dinner. The weather was beautiful, so the kids went outside and rode 4wheelers and played basketball. They went nonstop for 3 hours playing basketball with their cousin, aunt, uncle and dad! They definitely slept well that night! The boys received a new helmet and gloves, Cardinals shirts and tons of other stuff- they are seriously spoiled rotten! We finished the night eating dinner with our family and playing a little Kinect. We had a great time celebrating Christmas and the birth of our Savior!

Our Little Christmas, Christmas Morning

The kids had a great Christmas! We celebrated Christmas this year at my parents home. We still have not started the building process but it is coming along. Although we were not in our own home, we had each other and that's what it's all about! The kids woke up surprised and excited to see all the gifts under the tree! Jacob's favorite gift was his wrestler, Captain America and Thor toys. Jordan loved his new Bible, he was the most excited about it! He has taken care of it and never forgets to take it to church! He was also surprised to receive a Bow and Arrow! They both loved the gift of IU tickets! We read the Christmas story and prayed, thanking God for another year and the gift He gave us, His Son!

Getting Ready for Santa and his Reindeer!

After celebrating Christmas with Brad's parents, we headed home to get ready for Santa! Jordan doesn't believe anymore but plays along for Jacob! Jacob received some Reindeer food/dust from his teacher and a fellow classmate. We sprinkled that on the lawn for Santa's Reindeer and headed in for bed. The boys left out cookies and Coke for Santa (our Santa does not like milk!). Once their head it the pillow, they were asleep, anticipating Santa's arrival the next morning!

Christmas Eve at the Fuller's

On Christmas Eve we headed to Brad's parents house to celebrate! The kids are always spoiled rotten when they go to Mamaw and Papaw Fuller's! We had our Italian Christmas dinner of homemade spaghetti noodles and sauce, salad, bread and tons of desserts! The kids were so excited when they unwrapped a Kinect and tons of games! I never take many pictures when we go over there, I don't know why! I did manage to get a shot of the boys with their Mamaw! We had a great evening of celebrating Christmas and visiting with my inlaws.

Grandma's Sugar Cookies

On December 23, Justin came over and the two younger boys made Grandma's famous Sugar Cookies. This is a tradition we started when Jordan was little and now he thinks he's too old to participate-boo! Jus and Jake had fun without him. They made special cookies to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve!

Jacob's 1st Tooth!

On December 15, Jacob lost his first tooth at school! The Tooth Fairy brought him $5 for his first tooth! He's ready to lose another one so he can get a $1, more money!!!!
